Pursuing the Recovery of Severe Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain in Italy: Clinical and Organizational Perspectives from a SIAARTI Survey.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIncreased attention to the functional impact of chronic pain (CP), as highlighted by the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and advocated by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), is an important step forward for optimizing its management. Evidence about perspectives of Italian physicians on the relevance of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain care to improve patients' functioning and Quality of Life is scant. The study aimed to investigate the physicians' perception of the value of functional recovery in severe MSK pain patients, their attitude towards its assessment and achievement in Italy.
methodsA survey was conducted in Italy between October 2020 and January 2021. Specialist centers members of the SIAARTI (n = 395) were sent an online questionnaire encompassing the Italian pain therapy network. Participants rated their agreement to questionnaire items according to a 5-point Likert-type scale.
resultsA total of 305 centers (77%) completed the survey. Most physicians rated the recovery of functioning as very relevant in MSK pain treatment and, when they assessed it, devoted great attention to the ability to perform daily activities, pain, ability to ambulate and sleep quality. Multidimensional questionnaires were less employed in favor of physical examination and pain intensity scales. Pharmacological therapy, rehabilitation and lifestyle changes and/or physical exercise were all rated optimal strategies to pursue the recovery of patients' functioning. When considering pharmacological therapy, weak and strong opioids, either alone or combined with paracetamol, were the most frequently employed analgesics.
conclusionClinicians seem to recognize the recovery of functioning as equally important as pain intensity reduction, but there is a need of streamlining available tools to effectively assess both across different MSK pain patients.
